Eagle Rock project picks up support

Plans to build a three-story office and condo project near the Eagle Rock Baptist church have picked up speed and support. The nearly 38,000-square-foot building at the northwest corner of Colorado Boulevard and Hartwick Street would include five commercial spaces below eight, two-story condominiums. Some residents on Hartwick had expressed concern about the increase in traffic and demand for street parking the new development would bring. However, the project, which would replace a cluster of one-story homes and buildings, has won the blessing of the Eagle Rock Association and Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council’s Land Use & Planning Committee. “The project will represent an improvement in the appearance of this corner,” the The Eagle Rock Assn. said in an email.

Only problem I see is that this property is surrounded by empty offices — across, down, and up the street there are commercial “for lease” signs everywhere. Who’s going to move in? (The only thriving office-based businesses in ER are pot shops, it seems.) If rents are cheap and the units attractive enough, maybe some interesting independent businesses will move in.
